4 Synchronising your course/site The current version of Campus Pack is now hosted off site this means that content created for any wiki, blog or journal will not be stored on a USC server but externally. Before you can begin to use the Campus Pack tools, you will firstly need to synchronise your course or organisation with the campus pack site to enable communication between your course or site and the hosting site. This must be done in each new course or organization. If you have not synchronized your site, you will see the error message below. To synchronise your course to the Campus Pack hosting site: 1. Go to your Control Panel, click on Course Tools to expand 2. Choose Manage Campus Pack 3. Click on the link Synchronise Course The synchronisation process occurs while you will see a message saying that you can navigate away from the page, it may be useful to wait, and to confirm that the three areas have the message: Done written next to them. Hosted sites: Each time you enter a campus pack tool, it will be connecting with the off site hosted area. It may take a little time to connect, particularly the first time you enter a course and the tool. There also can sometimes be a delay, between when you have created a link to a tool, and when you can access the tool. At times you may receive an error, saying unknown content item. In these cases, you may need to wait and then refresh your screen a few times. Page 1 of 1 Updated 4 November 2011

You can also use the permissions to change how a blog is used mid way or at the end of the semester. You can most easily change permissions to: A course blog A single copy blog Making changes to the following blogs is possible, but it will involve making the changes multiple times, ie. to each person s blog or each group blog. If you have a small number of groups or students, you may wish to consider this option, but in many cases it may not be viable. Types of blogs where permissions are more difficult to change: One copy per group blog One copy per person blog A group tool blog To change permissions: 1. Enter the blog. 2. NOTE - you can firstly check who can view the blog, by looking under the title. In this case, everyone in the course can view this blog. 3.

46 Changing Journal permissions There is only one type of journal that can be added to your course site. By default, this will allow students to see only their own posts, plus posts made by teaching staff. Most commonly there would be only one permission change that would be made to a journal. This is to allow students to see one another s posts. (thus turning it into a single copy blog). The way this would most likely be used would be to use the default permissions at the start of the semester/session (students only seeing their own plus teaching staff posts), and then if required, change the permissions so that students can see one another s posts at the end of the semester/session. This will be demonstrated below. To change permissions: 1. Enter the journal. 2. Click on the link Permissions. Page 1 of 3 Updated 9 February 2012
